"GOP invites preacher who advocates jailing gays to give House prayer"

[krispos42]

Holy shit, look at this nutjob!


He's crazy enough that the GOP actually had to bring in another preacher to re-do the prayer.




Let me state that again. BRADLEE DEAN'S PRAYER WAS OFFENSIVE ENOUGH THAT THE TEAPARTY-BUTT-LICKING MINNESOTA HOUSE G.O.P. LEADERSHIP SAID THAT HE WENT OVERBOARD AND THEY BROUGHT IN SOMEBODY ELSE TO RE-DO THE PRAYER.


Holy shit!!!

GOP invites preacher who advocates jailing gays to give House prayer

By Andy Birkey | 05.20.11 | 10:13 am

Minnesota House Republicans invited anti-gay preacher Bradlee Dean of You Can Run But You Cannot Hide to give the morning prayer. The prayer was so offensive to many legislators that House leadership brought in the chaplain to redo the prayer.

Dean has made many controversial statements as pastor of You Can Run, including advocating the incarceration of gays and lesbians, that the LGBT community is trying to usher in Sharia law in Minnesota, that gay men molest an average of 117 children “before they get caught,” and that Muslim nations that execute gays are more moral than American Christians. His prayer on Friday touched off a firestorm at the Capitol as the LGBT community was rallying outside the House chambers against a proposed anti-gay marriage amendment.

Dean said during his prayer, “I know this is a nondenominational chamber,” he said listing off a litany of Christian denominations and leaving off any mention of Judaism.

Then he took a dig at President Obama, insinuating that he is not a Christian. “The head of the denomination is Jesus as every president up until 2008 has acknowledged, in Jesus name.”

4. Because the crazy aspects leak out

It's NEVER totally contained in the realm of the theoretical or theological.


You wind up with this stuff.

2. In other news, the Minnesota house passed the bill

that will send a same-sex marriage ban to the voters in 2012. They want it to be a constitutional amendment.

Another thing for Minnesota activists to do in 2012: Convince people to vote no on this travesty of an amendment.

6. It might not go through...

...the Teabagger backlash of 2012 and Obama's coattails might keep it from happening.

3. I hope Jon Stewart does a rant on this one. This is scary stuff. My son is gay, and my biggest

fear is for his safety. Now some nut saying he should be incinerated. The repugs got Gabby Gifford shot by running their big mouths. Have they not learned anything.

Most disgusting article I have read lately.

But thanks for posting. :)
